Arch opts out of NIL agreement
Good for him - way too many of these kids will sign anything to see their name in a video game.
$600 and a copy of the game - might be fine for that 3rd stringer at Marshall whose career ends in college - but when your both a high profile personality and a Manning - you are worth more.
Now will be curious to see how EA responds.
Offer more to Arch (or any other top talent) and you set yourself up for years of headaches with players demanding more.
Refuse and you wind up like some of the games of the 80s where you had players who opted out of the MLBPA agreements and makers couldn’t use their names - just teams and uniform numbers. I mean everyone KNEW who they meant - but couldn’t say the name.
